Trade Stack 21: There's Shiny and More Now!

Here is how this works:
Every so often (i.e. whenever I feel like it), I will add a card to a "Trade Stack".  Whenever the stack becomes appealing enough to someone, that person needs to comment on the post saying they'd like to claim the stack AND tell me which card they are sending off of my want list.  That's all you have to do - trade me ONE card (or more, of course) card from my want list for the entire stack of cards that I'm offering.  Each time, it will be first come, first serve...so act quickly (unless of course you are a gambler and hope to wait it out until there are 10+ cards in the stack that you want in exchange for a single 2004 UD Vintage card that I am looking for)!

The Trade Stack:
Last update:  4/25/11


Alright, I stand corrected.  I thought the shiny card to start the trade stack would be enough to cause someone to claim it (and to be fair, one person did try to claim it - but they offered a card I already had on its way to me).  So, let's sweeten the stack a bit and add a second card!


Today's addition is an Allen & Ginter card from 2010.  As I've mentioned a few times before, I keep a stack of cards in my desk that I plan to use solely for the Trade Stack.  In this stack, I have a bunch of inserts, some "oddball" cards, a few non-baseball player cards, a bunch of parallels, and of course, some base cards.  Each time I update my trade stack, I pull a card out of the pile - sometimes with a bit of thought, other times with a cavalier attitude of whatever I pull out is what goes on the pile.  Today's addition is exactly that - a "whatever happens, happens" type card.  Is there any connection between the Royals diamond sparkly card and Elvis Andrus' Ginter card?  Not that I know of - other than the obvious "both play in the American League" answer.  No matter, there doesn't always have to be a theme right?  Sometimes random provides the most fun!

Want the card(s) in the stack?  Act fast - tell me which card you will send me off my want list in the comments below!  If no one claims this card within a reasonable amount of time (a few hours up to a few days, depending) - I'll add another card to the stack and the process will start again!

  2. Matthew - the card you offered happened to arrive today in a different trade - sorry about that... The good news is I'll be adding another card to the trade stack (should be active at 8:30 AM EST tomorrow morning)!
